Richard Penna 3,687 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I wondered what 'new arrangements of some of Howard’s classic, genre-defying scores' might mean.

Although Lady in the Water had a session leak of the film cues, a bunch of theme suites were recorded during the sessions that went unused (and didn't leak in the sessions nor were they included on the OST).

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The Village is truly an oddity amongst the JNH/M.Night scores. All of the others have excellent OSTs, with no major omissions that I can think of, but this one is treated far more as a concept album, with chronology all messed up and roughly 1/2 hour missing. Signs is the only other M. Night score I'd like expanded - that's how good a job I think he's done with the albums. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I want your opinion regarding the expansion of Wyatt Earp. 3 CD? That seems a bit exaggerated no? Is the expansion essential comparing to the already generous OST. Please rate.... 0 : not essential 10 : essential. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The fact that's it's 3 discs is really irrelevant, what matters is the main program (discs 1 and 2), which totals 2 hours, 6 minutes. The old OST album was 1 hour so you get twice as long of time spent with the score. The third disc is bonus tracks you don't have to listen to when the main program's done if you don't want to; The $30 price tag is equivalent to many of their other 2CD sets so think of it as a truly free bonus.

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 For me, a classic case of OST imbalance, rather than being too short. I think you could make a really amazing 90 minute assembly to improve on the album, but the complete score is too long - for me primarily the tension scoring.

Thor 7,500 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Oh god, Bespin, all these super-famous composers you're exploring for the first time. It's like myself in the mid 90s. I envy you these (presumably) first encounters. Anyways, JNH is one of my favs. I interviewed him a few years back, and I have an OK collection of his scores (about 30 titles). My favourite will always remain WATERWORLD, which is also on my top 10 of all time. Bunch of others, but I've no doubt mentioned them before in this thread. Happy listening!

Anthony 572 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I have a lot of JHN in my collection - I just never find the time to listen to it. And chances are, if I haven't heard of the film, I won't have heard the score. So for all I know I'm missing some great stuff just because it's for an obscure movie. I'm finding these days I'm quite content with a playlist of highlights for each composer. So far I've got them for Williams, Powell, Giacchino, Desplat, Horner, T. Newman and Silvestri. (So Bespin, if you ever need help with any of those, drop me a message.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,500 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Cool list. Glad you have something from A HIDDEN LIFE on there - his best score since THE VILLAGE. And four cues from SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS, which would probably be my second favourite of his. I disagree with some your other choices, but that's the name of the game.

Bespin 8,480 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'm currently listening to it, it's possible that some tracks don't survive! I'm sceptic about the Batman cues... (ZIMMER )... anyway.... EDIT: BTW how can we now, which part of the Batman scores were written by Zimmer and JNH? Is it documented clearly somewhere?

Honestly, I don't know the style of each composer enough to guess by myself, it's why I ask experts... What they think... are those scores were mostly written by Zimmer or JNH (and I know some additional music were written by a third composer sometimes). Finally, who had the last editorial decision?

Smeltington 1,440 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Quote On that movie, on Batman Begins, we truly did co-write every cue together with the exception of the most famous cue, which he wrote, which is the two-note thing. Which is fabulous. So apparently that was a true collaboration, except for that one cue. Anyone know which one he means? Quote The Dark Knight was a little bit different. We did most of the writing in Los Angeles. His studio in L.A. is about 300 yards from my studio, it’s very close. We split up some of the assignments – he took The Joker and did such a crazy good job on that, I took Two-Face, and then we split up some of the action stuff. I did, predictably, maybe more the psychological stuff, but we went through it and it was great. This one seems like you would need hans-zimmer.com for. Maybe archive.org can help? https://collider.com/why-james-newton-howard-didnt-score-the-dark-knight-rises/ Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
